Fabrics and metal surfaces might look dingy and ugly due to rust and stains. However, you may successfully remove rust and stains to bring items back to their former glory if you use the appropriate methods and supplies. White Vinegar Soak: To remove rust from metal, put the rusted object in a container and completely cover it with white vinegar. Soak it for many hours or perhaps overnight. The acidity of the vinegar aids in rust disintegration. Baking Soda Paste: Mix baking soda and water to make a paste, then dab it on the rusted area. After an hour, scrape it with steel wool or a brush. Baking soda's mild abrasiveness aids in rust removal. Lemon and Salt: Squeeze lemon juice across the rust after sprinkling it with salt. After letting it sit for a few hours, give it a brush scrub. The salt adds abrasiveness, while the lemon's citric acid aids in rust dissolution.

Once applied, let the stain to settle for ten to fifteen minutes before washing as normal. This works well for a variety of stains, such as food and blood stains.
